BLAIR WITCH - Available on UK Digital and Disc this January.

Visionary director Adam Wingard unleashed one of the cinematic surprises of 2016, when his next opus, The Woods turned out to be an utterly terrifying return to the world of the BLAIR WITCH, which comes to coming to UK digital platforms and in UK Disc this January.

Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film follows a group of college students who venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of James' sister, which many people believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch.

At first the group is hopeful, especially when a young local couple offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods. However, as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend of the Blair Witch is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

Expanding on the mythology created in the iconic The Blair Witch Project, BLAIR WITCH is at once an exercise in slow-burning tension and a heart-pounding study in terror that further proves Wingard, responsible for the near-perfect slasher pic You’re Next and the joyous tribute to John Carpenter that was The Guest, really is modern horror cinema’s saviour.

BLAIR WITCH is released to UK digital
platforms on Jan 16th, and on Blu-ray, DVD and alongside a double
pack with The Blair Witch Project Jan 23rd, 2017 courtesy of Lionsgate
Home Entertainment.
